Collector Insights
Pinsir is a Grass-type Pokémon from the Sun & Moon series, featured in the Team Up set released on February 1, 2019. It has 120 HP and is classified as a Rare card. The Pokémon’s artwork is by artist Eri Yamaki, and its flavor text highlights its territorial disputes with Vikavolt while noting an unusual camaraderie with Heracross in Alola. Pinsir’s attacks include Grip and Squeeze, which costs two Colorless Energy to deal 30 damage and prevents the defending Pokémon from retreating during the opponent’s next turn. The second attack, Guillotine Hug, requires Grass and two Colorless Energy, and upon flipping two coins, may knock out the opponent’s Active Pokémon if both land heads. The card has no resistances but is weak to Fire-type attacks with double damage. Its retreat cost consists of three Colorless Energy, making it a balanced play in terms of movement and combat. This card offers strategic options through its dual attacks and interaction with retreat mechanics.
It gets into territorial disputes with Vikavolt. For some reason, it apparently gets along well with Heracross in Alola.
